Job Description

Baker Bleu kicked off in 2016 as a tiny sourdough spot with a big mission: bake ethical, insanely good bread for Melbourne. Fast-forward 10 years and we’ve grown into five stores across two states, bringing back real bread and pastry through the craft of long-fermentation sourdough.

n

We now roll out everything from classic loaves to bagels, pastries, sourdough pizza and stacked sandwiches—plus a growing wholesale range loved by top restaurants in Melbourne and Sydney. We’re always evolving, collaborating and pushing the craft forward.

n

We’re on the hunt for an experienced Head Barista to lead the coffee team at our Double Bay bakery. Just off the buzzing village strip, our bakery features a purpose-built pastry kitchen and a dedicated coffee section where the magic happens daily.

n

As Head Barista, you’ll take ownership of the coffee operation — leading and developing the barista team, maintaining exceptional coffee standards, managing workflow and ensuring every cup represents the quality Baker Bleu is known for.

n

This is a great opportunity for an experienced barista ready to step into a leadership position, or an established Head Barista looking for their next challenge.
